Invert Offensive Tactics

Invert Offence Causes Confusion For Finland

Team USA utilized the area behind the goal to give Finland headaches all game. Team USA shot the puck in around the boards. USA cycled, crossed, continuously passed the puck back behind the goal line. . USA tactic was to out work, out muscle and cause confusion at the net. Team Finland attention was below the goal line and they lost their men in the defensive zone. Team USA moved the puck to the point or to the net where men were open.

Why Use Invert Offence:

Forces 2 & 3 players to pick up players behind the goal line

Forces the forwards to come down low, opening passing lane to point men

The defenders focus their attention below the goal line

Tactics:

Cycle

Cross

Shoot or pass around boards

Keys:

Arrive quickly on puck

Good angling and circular approach skills

Good 1 v 1 skills offensive zone

Good puck protection skills

Picking the puck up and taking it to net

Principles:

Be a threat to score

The defense is high, move the puck low

The defense is low, move the puck high

Rule:

Take the puck to the net

Note:

This is the same tactics the New York Rangers used against the Washington Capitals 2011-12 playoffs. This is becoming a dominate tactic in NHL. The size of the players and new rules make this effective tactic in the game today.

All five players are focused on man behind goal line.

All five players are below face off circle.

Team USA has time and space for shot and is screening the goalie.

Team Finland stops pass to point. Strong side wings skates are pointing up ice.
